Top 8 ‘Must-Haves’ for Local Businesses to Rank in Google Maps & Organic Google Keyword Searches

Research has identified that Local SERP (Search Engine Results Page) ranking can be factored into eight different segments, each with a unique importance, weighted by percentage. These all affect a business’s ranking in Google’s Maps (Snack Pack) listings. The organic SERP ranking factors are slightly different.

The major reason ranking in the coveted top 3 Maps rankings is vitally important is because of mobile searches. Google made a big switch at end of 2015 to make sure all desktop searches and all mobile searches were identical. So as people are on the go and searching for something they want or need on their phone, you want to make sure you are showing up quickly and sustainably. Which means once you do get everything in order to start ranking in the Maps results, you must continue the work to support your business remaining there. Yes, Adwords (Google Paid Advertising) will have you showing up at the top of Maps, usually, BUT it is not sustainable, meaning once you stop paying for Adwords you are no longer visible on that 1st page unless you have done the necessary work to make sure you do.

This workshop averages about 45 – 90 minutes, but the amount of detail can be altered to fit your time-frame. However, even though this can be delivered with great content for the attendees in 30 minutes, they will be left with many more questions and we may want to discuss how to best make sure your participants receive everything they need for optimal success.
